Strategic workstream (c) of the current five-year workplan of the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) Executive Committee (ExCom) is to enhance cooperation and facilitation in relation to comprehensive risk management (CRM) approaches (including assessment, reduction, transfer and retention), to address and build long term resilience of countries, vulnerable populations and communities to loss and damage from the impacts of climate change. This includes extreme and slow onset events and could be achieved through, inter alia:
- emergency preparedness, including early warning systems;
- measures to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and build back/forward better;
- social protection instruments, including social safety nets; and,
- transformational approaches.
Work facilitated by the WIM ExCom on this workstream
The WIM ExCom and members of the Technical Expert Group (TEG) on comprehensive risk management (CRM) have produced a range of resources as part of the Plan of Action. This includes guidance documents, policy briefs, research papers, training and events. Some resources from the TEG-CRM have been endorsed by the WIM ExCom. Resources produced and endorsed by the WIM ExCom are shown below. Other resources produced by TEG-CRM members can be found here.
